Cannot open a virtual machine
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
When I try to open a virtual machine, I get the error: "The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is permission problems with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing 'modprobe vboxdrv'
as root".
But when I execute 'modprobe vboxdrv', I get "could not insert 'vboxdrv':Required key not available."
I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

You probably have secure boot enabled in your bios. Check by running
dmesg | grep -i secure
It is working as designed, stopping unsigned code being added to the kernel. Disable secure boot to allow the virtualbox kernel module to load.

It does say I have secure boot enabled. How do I disable it?
